I remain hopeful for the Ramblers' chances this year with a (hopefully) healthy Doyle playing off the ball. That said, it's fun to look into the future because the recruiting has picked up in a major way. Krutwig is a prototypical example of a player we've missed out on in the past. In fact, we lost out on Sean O'Mara (Xavier), who has a very similar profile to Krutwig, just two or three years ago. Negron looks like the type of long, bouncy player who can really excel in the Valley.

While we've yet to see any of these guys play, in a couple years Loyola could have a lineup of all 3-star or better players: Custer, Townes/Satterwhite, Chastain, Negron, Krutwig.

Kudos to Porter and the staff. Now let's turn them into a winning team!
